A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

56. Of EPIPHANEIA in Syria, a Byzantine historian,

who flourished toward the close of the sixth century. Evagrius Scholasticus, the ecclesiastical historian (H. E. v. 14, sub fin.), speaks of him as his kinsman and townsman. Vossius, misled by the latter expression of Evagrius, has considered Joannes as a native of Antioch instead of Epiphaneia.
